Leadership Intensives

MVNC offers several leadership intensives each year. These are typically multi-session, in-person workshops that cover a specific topic or help nonprofit teams work on a specific project. These programs often have limited registration, a small fee, and require multiple board and staff member participation. The goal of these intensives is for organizations to have time to work collaboratively within their team and within the cohort of nonprofits to address a topic or project that will move their organization forward.

Institute for Nonprofit Practice 

Each year MVNC partners with Tufts University to bring the Institute for Nonprofit Practice to island nonprofit leaders. This program is designed for current executive nonprofit leaders and emerging nonprofit leaders. The 7-month program differs from other professional development courses, with its emphasis placed equally on leadership, self-awareness, and personal growth.

2024 Board Leader Training

Led by: Mary Kay Leonard, Strategy and Business Planning Consultant 

This multi-session leadership training provides new and aspiring leaders of nonprofit boards with the information they need to lead and partner with other board members and with staff to advance the mission of the organizations they serve. 

The Board Leader Training: 

  • Builds the capacity of nonprofit board leaders, and thus that of their agencies, by exposing them to concepts critical to good board governance and to best practices for implementing those concepts;

  • Creates a space in the workshops for board leaders to share their challenges and learn from each other;

  • Builds trust and strengthens the bonds across the participants so that they can continue to rely on each other after the seminar concludes.

The Board Leader Training will take place over 4 sessions on Tuesdays in September and October 2024. 

2024 applications are now closed, but you can read more about the program here


2024 Strategic Planning 

Led by: Patricia Floyd, Consultant 


This multi-session program will provide experiential learning of strategic planning as you and your colleagues develop and refine your organization’s strategic plan. Throughout the four, in person, half-day sessions, nonprofit leaders will strengthen their understanding of strategic planning and how it applies to their individual organization. Each participating team will leave the workshop series with a robust, implementable strategic plan and the ability and confidence to repeat this process moving forward.

  • Session 1 – January 17, 9am-1pm
  • Session 2 – January 31, 9am-1pm
  • Session 3 – February 14, 9am-1pm
  • Session 4 – March 6, 9am-1pm

Plus up to four hours per participating organization for the series, will be available to support each organizations’ between-sessions work and plan development. Additional consulting support will be available post-series.

This workshop is now full. If you are interested in doing this series in the future, let us know!
